Parę słów
Ale jak rozpocząć, że
Dobry dzień
Schody jak Kordyliery

Dzwonek znów przed drzwiami zaskoczył mnie
I kroki za szybkie
I uśmiech nazbyt szczery

Posłuchaj mnie spokojnie i
I

Nie złość się
Czemu śmiesznie marszczysz brwi
Zrozum mnie
Nasza róża też kole

Przecież wiem, że mogło tak długo być
Usiądźmy przy stole
Posłuchaj mnie spokojnie
I nie mów mi na próżno, że

Jestem zbyt zmęczony
Jestem zbyt speszony
Jestem zbyt wzruszony
Nie mów nic

Takich spraw jest więcej
Takich burz bez tęczy
Takich róż naręczy
Mówię Ci

Słuchaj więc lub powiedz, że wszystko wiesz
Ja jestem żonaty

Odnoszę Ci te kwiaty
I kartkę Twoją zwracam też

The first verse contains a metaphor where the singer compares the difficult task of expressing themselves to climbing the Kordyliery mountain range. They describe being caught off guard by someone ringing their doorbell, and feeling frazzled and insincere when greeting them. The chorus of the song is a plea for the other person to listen calmly and not get angry or offended, acknowledging that the issues they want to discuss may be sensitive or painful.

The second verse contains a mix of optimism and resignation, with the singer acknowledging that there are many challenges in life that may not have a clear resolution. They encourage the other person to either listen to what they have to say or to tell them that they already know everything. The final lines reveal that the singer is married and returning a note and flowers to the other person, indicating that their relationship may be complicated or unrequited.
